Orange County, California’s Cosmonauts unveil the video for ‘What Me Worry’, which offers a very interesting insight into, their Velvet Underground-esque indie rock million-miles-an-hour tour lifestyle.
The brilliant track is taken from their new record ‘Persona Non Grata’, OUT NOW by the super cool, DIY-as-hell cassette label Burger Records.
Cosmonauts are in the middle of a mammoth 29 shows in 29 days European Tour in August/September 2013 in support of their newest LP, and just brought their ferocious live show to the UK, including a packed-out show at London’s Shacklewell Arms.
Formed in summer 2009 by Alexander Ahmadi & Derek Cowart, Cosmonauts have been releasing records and intensely touring North America and Europe since ’09, offering a glimpse into the chaotic, drug-addled Southern Californian rock ‘n’ roll scene along the way.
Inspired in equal parts by polo-shirts and MDMA, this four-piece garage-trance outfit has garnered a reputation of amps-dialled-to-ten meltdowns with both audiences and contemporaries.
They’re the coolest kids on the West Coast, and now they’re bringing the party to a venue near you.
